The hotel is clean. Large room with Bosphorus view, a king size bed, as for instance. Marvellous location really close to the major attractions, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Bosphorous, galata tower, Hodjapasha and lots more, and many sights in the Old section of town, 10 min walk to train station. Quite close to Gulhane Park.

The hotel was in a central location near the tram & metro stations. I ate in the rooftop restaurant nearby. The room was beautifully decorated and brand-new with bosphorus view, ideal for me. A hair dryer, a bidet, and a shower cap were very handy.

The hotel was well priced, even so I stayed for 7 nights only. I was given brand-new and perfect room just how expected it to be with a king size bed, a bath tub and a view of the Bosporus. This accommodation was in the central location in the centre of everything. Explored Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami, that is located at a medium distance from the venue. Turkish cuisine was served in the rooftop restaurant.

The hotel was fairly clean with nice interior and nestled in a very good building. Got wheelchair accessible room with a view of the Bosporus, double standard bed, for example as expected. There were coffee and tea making equipment, fridges, and glassware too. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly people at the reception desk, and the location was absolutely perfect.

The breakfast was hearty with way more quantity, all the expected dishes plus juice, and the downstairs bar was a plus. The location offered was perfect just next door to The Blue Mosque, The Aya Sofya, Topkapi Palce, the Bosphorus and all the main attractions. The service we got was efficient.

We stayed here for 7 nights and liked the place. Everything was really good, personnel was very friendly. The restaurant here was very clean for lunch and dinner, we both ordered excellent dishes. Throughout our perfect 10/10 stay, the service was exceptional with shuttle to the airport and very good Wi-Fi. The location of the hotel was excellent and absolutely perfect - at a short distance from a Holy mosque.
